Both your horses are gorgeous!

Is Xena from the track, or did you have her since she was a puppy? It's awesome that you can let her run loose. My best friend has two greyhounds that you can't let loose because they wouldn't come back!

Thank you!

Xena came from a breeding farm in Iowa that was closed down due to poor conditions. She never raced and was never bred. She was 2 when I adopted her from Team Greyhound of Ohio. In this video, she is in my fenced in back yard. The horses and the dogs share a fence line. There are very few greyhounds that can be let off leash in an unfenced area. Xena is not one of those few!!

that spotted dog looks faster than the horses

[jenp471]

the spotted dog is a greyhound, so yes, she is probably faster than the horses!

Now that is adorable! Do you ever let them onto the field with the horse so they can run free together?

[jenp471]

Thank you! No, they never run free together. That would just be asking for trouble. One playful kick would kill the dogs.

lol cute. I should try doing that with my greyhound on one side of the fence and my 16h Thoroughbred on the other side.

Lol cute =) yeah them being in the same field would be trouble lol. My shepherd decided to get to close to my horse one day and got a kick in the face, she was lucky though only got a swollen cheek lol.

Yeah, it's really a toss up! Some dogs know to watch out for those kicks and some don't, but it warms the heart to sings thing like that.
